If not Werdum at this point, who would be a better choice? I think Werdum deserves the next shoot. If Josh can string a few wins together, I could see him getting a shot down the road, but there isn't really any stand out matches in my mind.

Nelson, Russow and Big Nog isn't enough to get you a title shot. He'll need a win over another high ranked guy first. Beating Nog isn't the stepping stone it once was and doesn't get you a title shot (before anyone brings up Mir getting one after beating Nog, that was due to injury.). There are some interesting fights available for Werdum, and there's no way the UFC gives him a shot as is anyways.

It's all about the best available contender. If JDS wins and Cormier wins, then I can see Cormier being called up first. If Cain wins and/or Cormier decides that no matter what the outcome of JDS/Cain, he's going down to 205, then Werdum is ahead of everyone else.
